Speaking of orchestras. Baldwinsville lias an orchestra of which it may justly be proud. It is called the-‘‘Lucky Dance Band” and is fifty per cent represented by high school boys. It is fast gaining a reputation as one of the most popular dance bands in Central New York; it has been heard in many towns within a two-hundred mile radius of Baldwinsville; the “Lucky Band’s’’ (Big Eight) recently re- turned from a successful engagement at Canton. New York. .While the band was a success this year, it promises to be a sensation next fall. Bill Letter- man is working on some original ideas which promise to introduce the band as a novelty next fall. If you have not yet heard the eight piece band do not fail to do so. JOHN ADSIT. 1929—GLEE CLUB—1930 As soon as school opened we had our annual business meeting for the election of officers. Mabel Mercer was elected president; Winston Baker, vice-president; and Elizabeth Gere, secretary. On December 5 we had our party for the initiation of new members. All who attended enjoyed a marvelous time—unless it was those who became new members. On February 28th and March 1, the Glee Club gave the annual Minstrel Show. Several of our members took part in the play, and the entire chorus made up the minstrel. From the entertainment we cleared about $325. In March we were represented at the second National High School Chorus at Chicago by Merle W. Loveless. During the year the chorus has sung in assembly several times, and at the Bigelow Prize Speaking Contest. Members of the chorus have also sung at Parent Teacher’s meetings. 1 am sure that we have all gained much by being in the Glee Club and we wish to thank Miss Roth, our director, who has done so much to make the Glee Club possible and successful. NELLIE FULMER. CHECKERS AND CHESS Our checker and chess team, at the beginning of the season, were thought to have a very good chance for both championships, as we had lost only two players by graduation. Howard Cook and Franklin Reddout, both of whom were checker players. Our first game, which was with North Syracuse, at our High School, further heightened this belief, as we won both checkers and chess without much opposition. The next game was with Minoa at Minoa. In this game only the checker team played, as Minoa had no chess team. We won this match also with little or no opposition. The following game we played with East Syracuse at the High School. It was in this match that the checker team met its first defeat, losing by a fair-sized margin. Our chess team, however, continued its winning streak, although the chess match was very close. Our next game was with Solvay at our High School. In this match the checker team again went down in defeat, thus effectively losing its chance for getting the championship. The chess team, however, tied with Solvay, making Baldwinsville and Solvay tied for first place in chess. The next game was with Skaneateles, at Skaneateles. This match wa also won with Ettle trouble in both checkers and chess. Our next game was with Tully, at Tully. In this game our checker team again took a bad beating, losing by a wide margin. Our chess team, however, won once again. Following the Tully game, we had to play Marcellus. In this match the checker team won, while the chess team tied with Marcellus. Up to the Marcellus game, Solvay and Baldwinsville had not lost a game. However, Solvay beat Marcellus, while Baldwinsville tied them. This gave Solvay a lead over Baldwinsville and put Solvay in first place and Bald- 19

THE ORCHESTRA When the new school building was opened seven years ago. Miss Roth called for volunteers to form an orchestra. Many responded. As a result of the enthusiastic hard work of the players and the skillful training of Miss Roth, the orchestra was finally ready for its first public appearance. Since then it has been playing at many of our local and school affairs. As a large number of inexperienced players were continually coming in, it was soon necessary to form an Evening Orchestra. This orchestra not only includes members of the High School Orchestra blit also former stu- dents and citizens of the town. 1 hen a true High School Orchestra was also formed. They have played at weekly assemblies, where they always give us good music, no matter how short their program may be. On June 10. 1929, this orchestra represented the school in the first County Orchestra Contest, held at Liverpool. The first prize was a radio, which this school won. Consequently, during this year, we. as a school, have been able to hear the educational programs given over the Columbia School of the Air. This June the High School Orchestra is to enter the Second County Contest to be held at Liverpool. The prize this year is $25.00, to be used to purchase musical instruments. Indeed, the school and everybody in it should be very grateful to Miss Roth for all the time and attention she devotes to training the orchestra, the chorus and the prize speakers and minstrel players. Whatever Miss Roth sets out to do is always well done. The cups and other prizes we have won in orchestra, chorus and girls’ prize speaking are due to her efforts.
